Book Scanner Provides Unique Service for Students and Patrons

Swing by the Simon Schwob Memorial Library and check out the
latest electronic resource that is sure to better scholarship, productivity,
and creativity on campus. Students and patrons are invited to use the service and resources provided.

Located near the Information Commons Area, the Scannx Book ScanCenter is the library’s most powerful
and accessible self-service book scanner. With its user-friendly touchscreen monitor,
the book scanner is easily able to produce seamless document duplicates. This
feature improves the library experience for both library staff and
patrons.

Users are able to scan books and documents into searchable
PDF, Word doc, JPEG, TIFF and PNG file formats with the click of a button.
Along with other functions, users are able to send scanned files to email; to a
smartphone/tablet; to document-storage systems like Google Drive, Dropbox, and
network folders or to additional document-management devices like fax machines,
USB flash drives and other multi-function devices.

Other benefits of the book scanner include less paper and
waste, extends lifespan of books, increases accuracy, add-on features, and the
scanner also provides a multi-language compatibility.
